Princess Leonore of Sweden christened


Princess Leonore of Sweden was christened yesterday (08.06.14).
The royal tot, who is the daughter of Princess Madeleine and her husband Chris O'Neill, is fifth-in-line to the throne and was baptised at 12pm on the same day as her parents' first wedding anniversary.
King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel were among the 160 guests who attended the celebrations, which took place in the Royal Chapel at Drottningholm Palace, Stockholm.
Three month old Princess Leonore wore the same traditional cream gown that her two-year-old cousin Princess Estelle donned at her christening, while proud mum Madeleine wore a pink floral dress and matching fascinator and she walked into the church carrying Leonore, alongside her husband Chris.
The businessman asked God to "bring [his] love to the child for whom [he had] given [Madeleine and Chris] responsibility."
Madeleine's older sister Victoria then poured water into the font, which has come from a special spring on a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea, which was used to baptise Leonore by Archbishop Anders Wejryd.
According to Hellomagazine.com, he told the tot: "We welcome you into the family of God and receive you in love."
Chaplain to The King, Lars-Göran Lönnermark, and Pastor of the Royal Court Parish, Michael Bjerkhagen, assisted the archbishop in the christening, which lasted 40-minutes and was conducted in English in some parts.

Prince William and Beckham launch wildlife campaign


Britain's Prince William will join forces with David Beckham today (09.06.14) to launch a new wildlife campaign.
The Duke of Cambridge and the former soccer star want to use the power of sport to combat illegal trade in wildlife products.
William, president of United for Wildlife, will kick off the #WhoseSideAreYouOn campaign which will ask the next generation to chose between critically endangered species and those who kill them for money.
It is hoped the "#WhoseSideAreYouOn" debate will gather pace on social networking sites including Twitter and Facebook and in the run up to the launch, William and his brother Prince Harry posed for a photograph for the campaign's Twitter page holding placards with the start date "9th June 2014" and their own signature.
Beckham, who worked closely with the Duke on England's World Cup bid and attended his wedding to Duchess Catherine, heads a team of sporting stars backing the campaign including Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, India's former batsman Rahul Dravid and retired South African rugby captain Francois Pienaar.
William and Beckham have already recorded two video campaigns against illegal wildlife products for WildAid.
Beckham said at the time: ''When I learned of the current poaching levels in Africa, I immediately agreed to help get this message out."
